Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / February 2007Barnsey are you stuck?
Oi Barnsey, been a while since we have heard from you! Are you stuck out there? We have had the most amazing wet season, it is just terrific. Good luck if u are waiting to get back across the black soil - see ya in May LOL Group is missing your input Kathy. hes a paramedic now... no time for the internet LoL... I would say more likely he has no internet access out there LOL >I would say more likely he has no internet access out there LOL G'day all. Yes, it's been an amazing year so far. I've been whinging for years about my life being boring and having no challenges........well, I've got what I wished for, and more! The mine job is going really well. It has been a hell of an introduction to the industry though. The bloke who was supposed to induct and train me had to take emergency family leave, so I was thrown into the deep end, so to speak. On Saturday I had to manage a serious burn accident. It took the Qld Rescue Chopper 4 hours to medi-vac the poor bloke. I was left on my own with him in a VERY badly set up first aid room, waiting for the troops to arrive. I'm glad I did the paramedics course just a few weeks ago. (I urge all people who live in, or travel the outback to support the RFDS, by the way. It's a great service) Yep, it's been a wild year so far. I've just done a mine rescue course, which finished yesterday. Walking around underground in pitch black, wearing full breathing apparatus and all the gear.......... is something else. It's great to be working in remote places again. The 8/6 roster is pretty good too.............and the money is fantastic. All good Here's a few pics of my work car http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/barnseylynda/IMG_0986.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/barnseylynda/IMG_0987.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/barnseylynda/IMG_0988.jpg Sounds like life is suiting you. Make sure you have that car primed up and ready in May when I ride through those roads fighting the big trucks! We have decided maybe to do some bush roads to escape them. We had 3 inches yesterday and it is brewing again today so dont wash that dirty vehicle just yet. FYI I actually had ride in a RFDs plane when I was 8 years old. We lived at Weipa which in those days. early 60s (showing my age LOL) was just a mission and a backward mining camp and I had an accident which left me almost bleeding out. I can still remember all the local aboriginals up on the strip lighting fires so that the Doc could come in at 3am. Also remember the nurse giving me a shot of Vit K and telling me to "shutup ! If you dont have this needle you will die" Sheesh how times have changed. Kathy >> Walking around underground in pitch black, wearing full breathing apparatus and all the gear.......... is something else. Only to be beaten by Hot Fire Training, where you do that, looking for dummy bodies in a simulated house fire situation in Shipping containers, with real fire and sh.t round you... Glad ya havin fun dude.

Gerrit You lost me! YCNEGREME"? ???? I think I got the first bit. YOU SEE ANY?????? then I lost it. As Pauliine said - please explain? Kathy > You lost me! YCNEGREME"? ???? I think I got the first bit. YOU > SEE ANY?????? then I lost it. As Pauliine said - please explain? > Kathy Print out the post, hold it in front of you - print outward - stand in front of mirror. Now do you see Kathy?????? PS you never did reply to my somewhat "coded" message as to which LBS has pissed you about in Cairns. -- I was worried about being liable. But it was the one that sells Trek and there is only one in Cairns. running off with the print out now Kathy > I was worried about being liable. But it was the one that sells Trek > and there is only one in Cairns. running off with the print out now > Kathy Firstly, don't worry about liability - there ain't none as you cannot defame a shop. Well you can sort of, but don't worry about it. And Yep, know that one, visited it once and have driven straight past it every time since, and I do have to drive past it to get to any other LBS. In fact it is the attitude to customer service that pervades the local shops that has led us to invest in sufficient tools to all bike maint ourselves. And at this point I'll stop as this has bugger all to do with aus.CARS.offroad even if MTBs do go where 4WDs fear to tread. -- |
